Try Roo Example Error

Jan 31st, 2011, 01:08 PM

I cannot seem to get the "Try Roo" example to build. I'm not new to Maven, so perhaps one of my global repositories or my own profile is screwing things up, but as I follow the example I finally receive the error as a result of the very last step "perform tests".

Should I switch back to Maven 2.2.1 perhaps? I know Eclipse has been using an embedded version of Maven for a long time (or rather the M2 project has), so I can't imagine that Roo lacks Maven 3 support.

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I can't believe that such a simple example is so plagued with bugs. If all Roo beginners experience these issues at the outset it's unimaginable that there would be any users left.

I'm sorry, but that's not it. I can access the URL just fine in a browser. It's a maven-ism. I have it working on a Linux box beside me. It has something to do with my OS X box + Maven. I'm working it out in a Maven IRC channel. Any further suggestions here are welcome too, but it's not a network provider issue.

The plugin repository you have configured requires authentication and Maven failed to provide the correct credentials to the server. In this case, make sure your ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml contains a <server> declaration whose <id> matches the <id> of the plugin repository to use.

Why would this repository require authentication and if that was the case why this information is not included in the pom.xml generated by roo?
